<p>Is it even possible for me? I have a 2.65 UW and 1620 SAT score, My class rank is 386/886
I'm enrolled in all Honors and 1 IB Class. I've been in all honors since freshman year and was in TAG (Talented and Gifted program) from 4-8th grade.
I really can't afford any schools in Boston like Suffolk, Emmanuel or anything and I doubt I'd get accepted anyways, lol. I'm in debate club and senior exec. committee, and I want to major in Political Science.
Do I even have a chance at Umass Amherst? I really don't want to go to community college for 2 years and I understand sometimes you have to sacrifice because I messed up highschool... so really should I even try? On college board it says 1% of people that apply with 2.5-2.99 gpas.</p>
